Gog/Magog Coalition Invades Israel in the Latter Years unfulfilled

Iran (ancient Persia) is specifically named in Ezekiel 38:5 as part of the Gog/Magog coalition that invades Israel in the latter years. Failed peace negotiations between the US and Iran could contribute to regional instability that sets the stage for this prophesied invasion. The Hebrew term פָּרַס (Paras, Persia) directly identifies modern Iran as a key player in the end-times coalition against Israel.
